I received a letter from Elder Snow. I took a walk
with Elder Kington through the city of Bristol we visited
Mrs Clift, After which we visited the Noted suspension
Bridge now erecting across the River Avon, at St Vincens
Rocks Clifton, this suspension Bridge is 100 feet high
& 700 in length, their was a bar of Iron & two ropes extend-
ing across from pillar to pillar & persons could ownly
as yet pass over in a basket one or two at a time which
goes on rollers or wheels almost with the rapidity
of a steem engine. I saw several pass over in this way
their is some of the greatest curiosities in the known world
in the petrified stones formed from the various shells
fish, worms, & other living creatures of the sea which
were formed into stones of Beautiful figures & colors I
purchased some small specimens, & after walking over
& viewing the sea we returned having a look at the
great western as we passed along, we then returned
home & I walked to the pool & Baptized a Lady
by the name of Howell we returned to the room
& confirmed her, & had a good time I lade hands upon
many & blessed them, I Blessed Elder Kington &
all his household, & we had a good time the friends
contributed sumthing for my necessities
